Hi guys is there a way to create a virtual device with a possibility to use a number calculation as its status indicator.  
I am calculating the time between to events but sometimes it is necesary to act on the prior to the the trigger. But i need to know how far along the timer is. It would be great to open to see the timer quickly instead of opening betterlogic in a virtual device like status indicator.
